I'm not going to sugar coat my disappointment here, especially since nearly all issues in the climate and energy space had been resolved, this is our last chance to prevent the most catastrophic — and costly — effects of climate change.

Three years after that report was submitted, the intelligence community is still lagging behind and has failed to adopt even the most basic cybersecurity technologies in widespread use elsewhere in the federal government.

Attorney General (William) Barr is demanding that companies like Facebook weaken their encryption to allow the Department of Justice to monitor users' conversations, congress and the American people must understand the serious national security risks associated with weakening the encryption that protects Americans' personal data, as well as government and corporate systems.
